* In ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild'', while Link's facial features look the same as always, he is completely lacking his [[ClothesMakeTheLegend iconic green tunic]] to the point that even the merchandise doesn't have it; he wears a blue shirt instead. Miyamoto has said that [[https://gamerant.com/new-zelda-link-green-tunic-miyamoto/ he doesn't even know if the tunic will be in the game]].

* The UpdatedRerelease of ''Persona 4'' features a new extended epilogue, set 1 year after the events of the game. Most of the characters have new outfits, but are otherwise still clearly regognizable... and then there's Kanji, [[http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash4/396852_10151909972515398_944657840_n.jpg who looks so different it's hard to believe it's the same guy.]] Seriously, show anyone who hasn't seen the epilogue [[http://0-media-cdn.foolz.us/ffuuka/board/a/image/1340/02/1340020460609.jpg this]] photo, and they'd most likely tell you Kanji wasn't in it at all.

Added DiffLines:

* In the early ''Franchise/AssassinsCreed'' games, Desmond Miles' face changes slightly in every game so that he can more resemble whatever ancestor the game was starring.

* While everyone in the ''Franchise/ResidentEvil'' series has undergone ArtEvolution to some extent, Ada Wong in ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil6'' is ''drastically'' different compared to her established look in every prior appearance. The shape of her eyes, nose and lips are nothing like they used to look, and her skintone is also noticeably lighter. She also has a [not especially flattering] new hairstyle and a different voice actress, so basically, the only things about Ada that haven't changed are her name and propensity for the color red.

* [[http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/c/c3/Blaine_anime.png Blaine]] in the ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'' anime looked ''really'' differently from the way he does [[http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/e/e2/Red_Blue_Blaine.png in the games and most media.]] However, his design is perfectly accurate to a prototype Blaine character design, which was replaced in late post-production. Granted, the games had been out for about a year by the time Blaine debuted in the anime, so the only possible explanation is that the anime makers [[CriticalResearchFailure didn't bother playing the games]] and simply based the character designs on early artworks... Though [[http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/6/6c/Blaine_disguise_anime.png the disguise he initially uses]] somewhat resembles his usual design (if it weren't for the wig).

Granted, Which is rather strange when you consider that the games had been out for about a year two years by the time Blaine debuted in the anime, so the only possible explanation is that the anime makers [[CriticalResearchFailure didn't bother playing the games]] and simply based the character designs on early artworks... Though concept art... At least [[http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/6/6c/Blaine_disguise_anime.png the disguise he initially uses]] somewhat resembles his usual design (if it weren't for the wig).

* At the start of the ''Manga/PocketMonsters'' manga very few Pokémon resembled their official designs. Rumor has it the designs were based off what the mangaka thought the sprites looked like, [[http://dogasu.bulbagarden.net/manga/pocket_monsters/pm_01/03_wild_poke.jpg which looked incredibly off.]] As the series went on the Pokémon started looking more like their game counterparts, even resembling the official art better then other adaptations in some examples such as Pikachu.

* ''Manga/PocketMonsters'':** At the start of the ''Manga/PocketMonsters'' manga very few Pokémon resembled their official designs. Rumor has it the designs were based off what the mangaka thought the sprites looked like, [[http://dogasu.bulbagarden.net/manga/pocket_monsters/pm_01/03_wild_poke.jpg which looked incredibly off.]] As the series went on the Pokémon started looking more like their game counterparts, even resembling the official art better then other adaptations in some examples such as Pikachu.Pikachu.** Characters in this manga and ''Manga/TheElectricTaleOfPikachu'' tend to look really weird, too. Case in point: compare [[http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/3/30/FireRed_LeafGreen_Professor_Oak.png Prof. Oak from the games]] with his character designs in the respective [[http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/6/6e/Professor_Oak_PM.png aforementioned]] [[http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/e/ee/Professor_Oak_EToP.png mangas.]] And can you believe that [[http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/f/fe/Green_PM.png this guy]][[note]]even the Charmander on his shoulder and that Poké Ball look waaay off...[[/note]] is supposed to be [[http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/e/ee/Red_Blue_Blue.png Blue/Green?]] Or that [[http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/0/00/Agatha_PM.png this]] is [[http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/d/d1/FireRed_LeafGreen_Agatha.png Agatha?]] Would you believe me if I told you that [[http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/9/9a/Earl_PM.png this]] is [[http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/9/9c/Earl_Dervish.png Earl?]] Or that [[http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/1/16/Bill_PM.png this thing]] is supposed to be [[http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/0/0e/Red_Blue_Bill.png Bill!?]]

** "The Mansion Family" features Music/BritneySpears, [[https://frinkiac.com/img/S11E12/94960.jpg though she looked more like Baby Spice]] from Music/TheSpiceGirls. WordOfGod said her design was meant to look like Spears from her "Baby One More Time" video.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'': In his first onscreen appearance in "Homer's Odyssey", Waylon Smithers was dark-skinned with blue hair due to an unfortunate mistake when the show was sent overseas to Korea to be colorized and animated. The production crew did think about leaving him this way, but the [[UnfortunateImplications thought of a black man who sucked up to his white boss wouldn't sit well with a lot of people]], so they made it known that Smithers would be white (er, yellow) for all subsequent episodes. Jokingly handwaved by some of the writers, saying that Smithers had just come back from holiday with a heavy tan.

* All ''WesternAnimation/{{Ben 10}}'' sequels brought some change to the characters' designs and personalities, which was usually justified through a TimeSkip, although some cases played this trope straight ([[TheSmartGuy Cooper]], [[DarkMagicalGirl Charmcaster]], and [[CanonImmigrant Elena]] come to mind.) WesternAnimation/Ben10Omniverse, on the other hand, takes place less than a year after the events of previous sequel UltimateAlien and involves a large amount of flashback on the original series. Yet, in both the flashback and present episodes, aliens and characters are all redesigned to the point some of them bear few similarities to their model.

* Mitsumi from ''Manga/PokemonDiamondAndPearlAdventure'' looks little like Dawn from [[VideoGame/PokemonDiamondAndPearl the games]]. She has green hair, a different hairstyle, and is a teenager instead of ambiguously between 11 and 13.

Reason: Mitsumi isn't supposed to be Dawn more than Hareta is supposed to be Lucas.
